Plantar Fasciitis Q & A<\/h4>\n
\n

What is plantar fasciitis?<\/h2>\n

Plantar fasciitis is the result of inflammation of the plantar fascia, the connective tissue that reaches from your toes, through the arch of your foot, and into the heel bone. When this tissue becomes inflamed, it causes pain in the heel and arch.<\/p>\n

The pain often becomes severe with extended periods of standing or walking. In many cases, it\u2019s worse in the morning but may become less painful throughout the day.<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInDown”]<\/p>\n

\n

What causes plantar fasciitis?<\/h2>\n

The most common cause of plantar fasciitis is overpronation, which happens when your foot rolls inward when you walk. That makes the foot flatten, lengthening your arch and putting extra tension on the plantar fascia. When this occurs over and over again, it becomes inflamed.<\/p>\n

Although anyone can get plantar fasciitis, it\u2019s most common among middle-aged adults or those who spend a lot of time on their feet, especially on hard surfaces. Other risk factors for developing this condition include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Having high arches<\/li>\n
  • Having flat feet<\/li>\n
  • Being overweight<\/li>\n
  • Having tight Achilles tendons or calves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    What treatments are there for plantar fasciitis?<\/h2>\n

    When you see Dr. Griffin for plantar fasciitis, he can often reduce your pain with conservative measures. Depending on your particular case, he may recommend:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Over-the-counter pain relievers<\/li>\n
    • Ice treatments<\/li>\n
    • Stretching exercises<\/li>\n
    • Supportive shoes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      In some cases, Dr. Griffin may recommend wearing an orthotic device or partaking in physical therapy. Where the plantar fasciitis is persistent, he may suggest custom orthotics, ultrasound-guided injections, or surgery.<\/p><\/div>\n

      [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInDown”]<\/p>\n

      \n

      How do ultrasound guided injections help with plantar fasciitis?<\/h2>\n

      If at home remedies and exercises don\u2019t reduce your plantar fasciitis pain, Dr. Griffin may suggest ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections. He uses innovative technology, an ultrasound device which ensures the proper placement of injections that work to reduce inflammation quickly and effectively.<\/p>\n

      These treatments reduce the pain associated with the swelling of your plantar fascia, and results may last up to three months.<\/p>\n
